Mahlertov Cocktail posted:Yeah and he was getting salty about people joking about their pronunciations They do that on the podcast too though. They're like "Oh we don't care, don't tell us when we say stuff wrong" but the way they go on and on and on about it suggests that actually they do care a lot.

Guy Mann posted:Woof, that Timeline ep was a miss. I really don't like their recent trend of picking more well-known books that aren't really outrageous enough to be entertaining I thought it was a pretty good episode, and Timeline is definitely a bad enough book to make fun of.

my girlfriend is Legos posted:The forum posts from How to Good-Bye Depression are absolutely F Plus creep, though The only problem with it is that it's a self-published book, but I'd say guests shouldn't be held to the same standards as the hosts.

Is it a stereotype that football players like Disneyland or something?

I'm just wondering what's going to be in the part two. It seemed like they pretty comprehensively covered the book already.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:So is nobody going to talk about the new episode starring Lauren O'Neal and a book-like object written by The Dilbert Guy? I knew it was going to be a good episode just from those two bits of information. And I was not disappointed.

The early Andy Capp comics are not nearly as horrifying as these podcasters make them out to be. I mean, they couldn't and shouldn't be published in newspapers today, but you'd have to be pretty sheltered to find them shocking when you consider other media of the time.

Haven't listened to it yet, but I'm disappointed they decided to go with the third book in the series instead of the first, because I've actually read the first one.

Sham bam bamina! posted:Edit: Narnia? I think the "not a YA novel for girls" line is just to say it's not Twilight though. It could be a YA novel for boys, but I don't think he was hinting at that.

Sham bam bamina! posted:This episode was perfect in every way.  Actually, that happens a lot with this show. They make all these references to music I don't know and then they'll mention one song I actually know and like - specifically to say how bad it is.  Mahlertov Cocktail posted:I guess it also doesn't help that I like Collision a whole lot better as a podcast guest than co-host. I understand that it's a lot easier to make a podcast without having to get a guest every time, but rotating co-hosts with JW as the anchor was a lot more fun.

Jurgan posted:I don’t think there is such a thing as unintentional satire. If you’re trying to support an idea and fail so badly you undermine the point you’re trying to make, that makes you a comic fool, not a satirist. “Look how well Hitler satirized fascism by losing WWII!”

I often feel like they get to the games too quickly. But mostly just when there's a guest because the episodes with a guest tend to be the best ones. The same two people all the time gets repetitive and dull.

ZorajitZorajit posted:I will ask this though: where do you fall on "the reader should be able to solve the mystery in the course of the story"? I don't care either way, but it does annoy me when "you can't solve the mystery before the protagonist" is given as a criticism of a book where the author clearly didn't intend for you to be able to. It's not a failure on the part of the author if they just weren't writing that kind of book.

I don't care what book they do, I just want them to have guests again. The episodes with guests are consistently and significantly better than the episodes where it's just the two of them, and they almost never have them any more.
